i love how raw this song is. When I first heard it at the listening party, i was blown away as everything clashed melodically. As far as the lyrics, what if it was written like this,
Some say it was a warning
Some say it was a sign
I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky
The way it spoke to us
You felt it from inside
Said it was up to us
Up to us to decide
"You've become a virus
That has eaten up its host
We've been watching you with all of our eyes
And what you seem to value most"
"So much potential
Or so we used to say
Your greed, self importance, and your arrogance
You piss it all away"
"We heard a cry
We've come to intervene
You will change your ways and you will make amends
Or we will wipe this place clean"
"Your time is tick-tick-ticking away"
In other words, The Presence has always been around but it has finally made an appearance. Everything in quotation marks are the words coming from what it had to say. The last part as far as "you will change your ways and you will make amends//or we will wipe this place clean// your time is tick-tick-ticking away" can be the very warning right before the world was bombed, not necessarily by armed forces but by something a little higher, like the presence. I know it's a little out there but why else would the presence be presented to us if it did not play a key role in the storyline.
